Five cases of vandalism and graffiti have left properties in Rockport dripping with eggs or tagged with spray paint. Police are asking residents to help identify the people responsible.

In multiple examples, a pentagram was painted on a wall. In one incident at a skate park, the graffiti reads, "It's just a prank."

In the first incident, the front door of My Place by the Sea on Bearskin Neck was egged, police say. That same business was egged again on Jan. 10.

On Dec. 31, police said Waddell Skate Park on Pooles Lane was hit with graffiti. A vacant building on Granite Street was the next to be targeted, with spray paint and property damage reported on Jan. 9.

The most recent incident was on Jan. 12, when a men's restroom at T-Wharf was tagged with graffiti.

"It is unfortunate that there are individuals in our community who choose to be disrespectful by vandalizing the property of others, and this will not be tolerated," Chief John Horvath said in a statement provided by his department.

Horvath asked anyone with information about the vandalism to contact Rockport police at 978-546-1212.
